Uncover Major Attractions of Kathmandu Valley
Your 8-day Nepal trip begins with visits to the major highlights of Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur. In fact, you and your partner will explore six out of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the valley.
Together, you’ll discover a variety of temples, stupas, and other significant religious and historical landmarks. Here are the main places of Kathmandu we’re referring to:
Get Blessings From Pashupatinath Temple
Among the countless Lord Shiva temples around the world, Pashupatinath Temple stands as one of the holiest for Hindus. In fact, it is widely believed that couples who receive blessings here are granted everlasting happiness and a deep connection.
Beyond the main temple, make sure to visit and seek blessings from the many other shrines within the premises. These include Guhyeshwari Temple, Gorakhnath Temple, Sri Chakra Temple, Vasuki Nag Temple, Ganesha Temple, Kirti Mukha Bhairava Shrine, and more.
Thinking of secretly getting married? You might want to consider tying the knot at Guhyeshwari Temple, as there is a belief that doing so will bind you and your partner as soulmates for all seven lives.
Spend Time Together in Boudhanath Stupa
Altitude Himalaya conducted a local survey among couples in Kathmandu and found that most of them chose Boudha as their favorite hangout spot. The spiritual energy, peaceful atmosphere, and unique food are what make this place so popular.
However, Boudhanath Stupa isn’t exactly a dating spot. It’s a place best appreciated for its religious, cultural, spiritual, and architectural significance.
Take a peaceful kora walk, spin the prayer wheels, explore the stupa premises to witness local traditions, and don’t miss the Guru Lakhang Monastery. This small monastery sits slightly elevated and offers one of the most picturesque viewpoints in Boudha.
Feel Spiritual Energy in Swayambhunath Stupa
Located just 3 km west of Kathmandu, Swayambhunath Stupa is another significant Buddhist site where you can truly feel peace and spiritual energy. It’s an ideal place for couples to connect on a deeper, more spiritual level.
When you visit, be sure to explore the Harati Temple, Dewa Dharma Monastery, Amideva Buddha Park, World Peace Pond, Anantapur and Pratappur Temples, and the Swayambhu Buddhist Museum.
Just a quick note: be cautious of the monkeys! They’re known to snatch objects from your hands and, if provoked, may attack in groups. Don’t be scared though. Stay calm, act normal, and avoid disturbing them.
Wander Through Royal Courtyards of Durbar Squares
‘Durbar Square’ refers to areas filled with museums, temples, statues, courtyards, and fountains. The three Durbar Squares of Kathmandu Valley each carry distinct histories from the time when Kantipur, Bhadgaun, and Patan were separate kingdoms.
Feeling confused by the names? These are now known as Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur districts. The Durbar Squares were once royal palace complexes.
Learn more about them here on our blogs:
You and your partner won’t just be exploring museums and learning about history. These squares are also surrounded by plenty of restaurants and cafés, and the courtyards themselves are perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Wake Up to Himalayan Views in Nagarkot
Just about a 45-minute drive from Bhaktapur Durbar Square lies Nagarkot, a destination known for its stunning panoramic views of the Himalayas. And let’s be honest: watching the mountains right from your hotel room sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?
Beyond that, your luxurious stay with your beloved will be the cherry on top. You can also visit nearby attractions such as the Geodetic Survey View Tower, Bojinee Dam, Buddha Peace Park, and Changu Narayan Temple (another UNESCO World Heritage Site).
A Romantic Cable Car Ride to Chandragiri Hills
Located southwest of Kathmandu, Chandragiri Hills offers stunning panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley and the northern Himalayas.
We’ve planned this short trip for you after your return from Pokhara and before you head back home. The hill is also home to Bhaleshwar Mahadev Temple, another revered Lord Shiva shrine.
To reach the top, Altitude Himalaya has arranged a private cable car ride exclusively for couples. Enjoy the privacy as you soar above the clouds to an elevation of 2,551 meters.
Soak in Pokhara’s Scenic Places
Pokhara City is known as the ‘tourism capital’ of Nepal. But that’s not all! It’s also one of the most beloved romantic destinations for both local and international travelers.
From strolling along Lakeside and exploring Fewa Lake to visiting various natural attractions and getting involved in adventures, this 8-day couple package from Altitude Himalaya covers it all! Let’s take a glimpse at where you’ll wander while in Pokhara:
Watch Sunrise From Sarangkot Hotel
While in Pokhara, your stay will be atop the Sarangkot Hills. So, get ready to witness breathtaking mountain views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Dhaulagiri, Annapurna range, and Manaslu!
The most exciting part of your time here isn’t just the luxury stay, but the unforgettable sunrise over the western Himalayas. That golden morning hour, when the mountains glow with a unique golden hue is a moment you’ll cherish for a lifetime!
Let Devi’s Falls Draw You Closer
If you’re opting for this trip during the monsoon, you’re likely to be impressed by the sheer force of the waterfall, which creates a refreshing drizzle. The two of you can hold on to each other and walk all the way down to witness this natural beauty.
But be very cautious! In 1961, a woman named Davis tragically fell here and lost her life here. This is a fierce waterfall that flows underground into the Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave and eventually merges with the Seti River.
Wander Inside Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave
Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave is another sacred site dedicated to Lord Shiva that you and your partner will explore on this 8-day Nepal trip. It is also one of the longest caves in the country, stretching approximately 2,950 meters in length.
To reach the cave, simply cross the road from Devi’s Falls and follow the downhill path leading to the Shiva Temple inside. While hiking, don’t forget to check out the beautiful architecture along the way.
Keep in mind that during the monsoon, the deeper section of the cave is closed due to excessive water flow, so you’ll only be able to explore the upper part.
Get Blessings From Pumdikot’s Shiva Statue
Your Pokhara trip continues to a hilltop located 12 km away, home to the second-largest Shiva statue in Nepal. This offers yet another opportunity for the two of you to receive his blessings.
There’s also a statue of Lord Ganesha circling around the statue of Lord Shiva, representing the well-known Hindu story where he defeats his brother, Kartikeya. The only one missing here is Mata Parvati, whose statue is also planned for future construction.
Additionally, the mountain backdrop makes this site another natural highlight of your Nepal journey. From Pumdikot, you’ll enjoy clear views of Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, and the Annapurna range.
Share a Silent Prayer at World Peace Pagoda
While Pumdikot has become a holy site for Hindus, the nearby World Peace Pagoda has been serving as a Buddhist pilgrimage site since 1973. It’s one of Altitude Himalaya’s top recommendations for guests seeking a peaceful retreat.
Moreover, this landmark is an ideal spot for yoga and meditation. So, if you two are fitness enthusiasts, you’ve just found the perfect natural and serene atmosphere for your ‘asanas’.
Let’s not forget that at the World Peace Stupa, you’ll also have the chance to learn more about Buddhist traditions and deepen your spiritual connection together.
Add Adventure to Your Pokhara Escape [Customizable]
Pokhara isn’t just the tourism capital; it’s also the adventure capital of Nepal. So, when you’re here, skipping the activities is something you might end up regretting.
What’s more important to note is that all adventure activities in Pokhara are absolutely safe, as they use internationally verified gear. Every experience is managed by professionals with years of expertise.
Let’s guide you through the main adventures:
- Boating and Kayaking in Fewa Lake: You’ll enjoy both activities on separate days, giving you ample time to explore the lake and visit the nearby Tal Barahi Temple.
- Ultralight Flight: This gives you an incredibly close view of the mountains, which is an experience that’s nothing short of breathtaking.
- Paragliding: Soar like a bird over Pokhara Valley with a stunning mountain backdrop and mesmerizing views of Phewa Lake.
- Zip-Flyer: Whether you choose the Seated or Superman harness, you’ll glide along the world’s steepest and longest zipline with the mountains as your background.
- Bungee Jump: Feel the adrenaline rush as you leap from an 80-meter tower. You can even opt for the Kushma Bungee (228 meters), though it may take up a full day.
- Rafting in Seti River: Paddle through Class II–III rapids for a thrilling experience that also strengthens teamwork with your partner.
- Hot-Air Balloon: Soar above Pokhara in a wicker basket with your partner and take in a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the city.
- Other Popular Activities: Mountain biking, skydiving, helicopter mountain tours, canyoning, and more.
Among these, boating and kayaking experiences are already included in the package. The other adventures will take place on your third day in Pokhara.
